The reason why I refused these offers is I don't play Serbian folk music and I don't enjoy doing that style of music. When they made a tv show about me on B92 television here in Serbia, I was asked would I ever play for Serbian top folk celebrities (tour record etc) - at that time I clearly stated that if I ever did that I would have no respect for myself as a person and I would immediately loose all the musical value meaning and sense in my life in career Respect! Now, It's easy for me to say because I have a job and a secure income but I surely would like to work with music as a living. But I'll never do it making music I don't enjoy. That to me would be just like any boring work when you long to get finished so you can get home. And if you're on tour with Michael Jackson (or a Serian folk band) that's not going to happen. I would rather stick to my own style and have only one fan that likes my work than play something because it's popular and have a thousand fans -------------------- My bands homepage

I've played with probably biggest folk start in my country,
well not that kind of folk music actually,more like traditional music, it's called Sevdah. But what I always try to do it to "adapt" music a bit so I could enjoy more while playing it. Of course,there are some artists and their music would be way bellow bottom line so I would never accept to play with them,as Pedja said. Good thing is,there is plenty of them so we can do a selection. -------------------- Youtube

that's ok if you have other income sources but when the bill comes to be paid and you don't have money then I see no reason why not to accept the gig. If you're a good player nobody will think bad of you because you wanted to make some money. There are many things we don't want to do in life but sometimes we have to.
